Note that i_ino is unsigned long and so is a 32-bit value on 32-bit
arches. If the backend storage uses 64-bit inodes, then we usually end
up hashing them down to 32-bits first. e.g. see nfs_fattr_to_ino_t().
ceph has some similar code.
The upshot is that if you're relying on i_ino, the value can change
between different arches, even when they are dealing with the same
backend filesystem.
Since this is expected to be used by filesystems that don't set up
export operations, then that may just be something they have to deal
with. I'm not sure what else you can use in lieu of i_ino in this case.
